great video man! You are an extremely advanced player. Your decks are just another level. I just loved that Zirda deck. I'm 100 percent going to make it, thanks for sharing your knowledge for dummies like me
16:04 I came here from his channel, and I've been watching a couple of your videos today and I really enjoy them!
24:42 hahahah I was not expecting to hear Rafaam's "I like your deck I think I'm going to take it!" in this video
I think you nailed what I enjoy about commander, changing the way people think about the game, or how they have to play each game. It's so easy to fall in to the trap of playing good stuff, or playing the best commanders and the best staples, which then lead into a homogenous and boring format. Might as well play standard at that point. My strangest brew is a Dimir control/poison deck with no attacking infect/toxic creatures, so all of the work is done with proliferating. It creates a tense sword of Damocles over the table where they have to decide if I need to die each turn. Thanks for the decklists, I'll definitely have to incorporate some of your sweet brews!
Would love to see a video on the Zirda deck, seems really cool!
glad to see smaller channels like this, great vid. I have been watching demo from the start of his channel
I love self reflective videos like this.
Really in-depth analysis. Love seeing these things!
That derevvi deck is fantastic, imma have to build a similar deck that follows that idea of disrupting the game
That Derevi deck sounds like it would incredibly fun to play against exactly once and then never again
Correct. 🤣
Great video! I really love these kind of videos
Here, have a 300th sub.
REALLY interesting video! thank you so much
Kazuul gang rise up 👊
Just popped up in my feed. Cool list of decks! That Zirda seems pretty fun, certainly gonna check it out
Good video! It's like a documentary of your evolution as a player
Cool vid mate
Nice video.
I definitely wouldn't play against that Derevi deck more than once. It definitely works better in concept (and PvE) than at a real table. That Zirda deck sounds really fun! Definitely going to check it out!
Hey, just found your channel through youtube recommandations (I do watch a lot of magic content xD) and loved it! Really good explanations on your commanders, good journey through what you did, played and loved over the years! It was an interesting time and really enjoyed your video from beginning to end. I hope you have an awesome day and keep up the good work!
for me I feel like I'm still in the phase where i was ten years ago when i started playing magic. idk if its a phase or it's the style i like playing. it's the "i just want to pull off this one very specific thing or do cool stuff" phase
Blood Moon messing with other players is a fine reason to run it.
that Zirda build is a stroke of genius
So I read the deck list and still don't get how it's a 7.5 or a threat to anyone? Feels like you'd always be treading water to get more lands, even with the several cards that get you lands if your opponents control more. What am I missing?!
The deck has a bulky amount of lands so hitting land drops is less of an issue, plus there's enough land recursion from the graveyard to be pulling lands if you need. As far as appearing as a threat, the deck is designed in such a way that its threat assessment level is low (funny enough, your own testimony is credence to this). At the same time, the deck makes use of very value removal (boardwipes, Orin's Thunder, etc.) as a means of resource denial. If my opponents have 12 lands and I have 6, I let them play out their hand. Then, when I cast Akroma's Vengence or Perilous Vault they lose access to everything they just played. If you've ever been in a game where you had 13 lands and nothing to do for the turn, then you understand how having a surplus of lands doesn't usually translate directly to being an actual threat. With all that graveyard recursion as well, any utility land can be repeatedly used each turn. And on top of that, you can pick and choose which land TO reuse every turn. A blast zone every turn can be VERY oppressive, not to mention another Dark Depths whenever you want, or a Command Beacon so I never have to pay commander tax again. As far as wincons go, I generally win with Call for Unity or just a Dark Depths' Merit Lage token. Basalt Monolith goes infinite with Zirda, but I didn't feel the need to throw in a way to translate that mana into damage. If you wanted to though, you certainly could. You could swing out with a huge army using Goblin Trenches, or just keep making your Zirda huge and indestructible with Tyrite Sanctum, or do 20 damage to each opponent when Cavalier of Flame dies, there's a whole lot that can be done. It's almost like every card is an ingredient, and you're the chef just cooking something unique and deadly every game.
I also forgot to mention that lands are notoriously hard to interrupt. You can't counterspell someone for playing a land for turn. And without a Stifle effect, you can't stop the activated abilities of my lands from activating. I love Blast Zone for this reason. You have one turn before I blow up whatever permanent I want, so long as I can pay the price (which is reduced by 2 if Zirda is out).
@@StragetyMTGgreat explanation, honestly would love to see a video breakdown of it. I know all you MTG KZhead only apparently wants precon content but damn "Zirda Broso Lands" would pull me in.
I am a very active member of demos channel and Patreon, I found your channel through that Derevvi segment. Really enjoying your content and mindset on EDH. Keep it up, and hope to jam a game with ya at some point.
Sounds like fun! What app do you use?
@@StragetyMTG Mostly play through Spelltable, I mostly find games actually through Demos Discord. I believe you have to be a Patreon to access it
I never went through that power phase probably because my decks are wild crazy ideas that barely work for half a year while I tune their comical strategies like goblin games my goblins tribal mini game focused deck that wins with crazy coin flip number guessing games and such.
